Geocache Description:

This is 3 of 4 "Triwizard Dragon" cache sites.


The Welsh Green

The Triwizard Tournament was first initiated several hundred years ago as a friendly competition between the schools of wizardry: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang.

Each school designated a wizard champion, and the selected champions then competed against each other in a variety of spine-tingling tasks. The tournament continued until the death toll mounted so high that the authorities had to discontinue the event.

There have been several attempts over the centuries to resurrect the Triwizard tournament, none of which has proven very successful. However the Department of Magical Games & Geocaching has decided the time is ripe to have another go at it. Hence the creation of the four connected "Triwizard Tournament" Dragon cache sites:

<center>             
<center>Hungarian Horntail     Swedish Short Snout    Welsh Green      Chinese Fireball
The first task requires the wizard champion to steal a golden egg (in the form of cache coordinates) from each of their respective dragon counterparts. After outsmarting all four dragons, the successful cacher will have in their possession the complete set of required coordinates for the Second Task.

If you choose to continue the challenge, you will find further instructions in the cache description for:

Triwizard Tournament The Goblet of Fire

Each of the four dragon caches are hidden in small magnetized tins. Enough room for a log book, but do not expect to trade any items. UPDATE 2/19/2010: Due to lots of issues with the old location, I have moved this cache to an easier location, about 45 feet from the previous location. Hopefully this will not have any issues with Security now. I've lowered the difficulty a little. You can park next to location, assuming there is an available spot. This should make this cache more accessible to everyone who visits the mall. New location should have clear skies above (i.e. top level). So your GPSr should give you accurate numbers. Good luck. Note that final Goble of Fire has been archived, I am planning on renewing it in the future. No clues are provided in this cache at this time. For now, this is stand-alone cache. I will post an update if I can reactivate the final cache. Happy caching and good luck.
